I just saw "where the wild things are", and it was pretty terrible. It was supposed to be a kids movie, but it had the most unsettling atmosphere I'd seen since "the shining". It had a hard time sitting through this.

You are officially disqualified from critiquing any more movies. Way to completely miss the point of the movie.

I am just saying that personally, I found watching this movie to be an unpleasant experience.  What was the point of the movie?

Well first off, it's really not a much of a kids movie. If it is a kids movie, it's only in that it cautions them on the strength danger of their own unbridled emotions. Where the Wild Things Are is a movie about the mind of a child. Each of the monsters represented one of the boys emotions, several of which could be very very unpleasant and unsettling when they got out of hand. So what you see in this movie is the boy examining himself and his own actions and feelings, while he's run away from home. In doing so he's seen the harm he's done and in the end he goes back home to him mother, contrite. You're watching the mind of the boy during one of his tantrums.

Contact. That movie was the definition of the term anti-climactic.

Yet another person who didn't realize that Avatar was not about the story.

It was about the freaking space marines in gigantic freaking mecha fighting smurfs on steroids in mouthwatering 3D, with copious explosions...And other crap.

I've watched it like 3 times on DVD, always skip the opening crap and go straight to the PEW PEW!

I realize that the director wanted to tell a story about the psychology of a child, what I do not understand is why he felt the need to use "Where The Wild Things Are" as his soapbox. 
In both the movie and the book, the monsters represent the emotions within Max, but i Max is in a very different state of mind between the two.  If the monsters had represented excitement and savagery like in the book, rather than loneliness and despair, this film could have been far more watchable.

I play games for copious pew pew/explosions... Avatar sucked something fierce as it was simply a rip off of a thousand other movies but with some injected green movement messages, way to much neon thrown in and then baked in a graphics studio for ten years..  It was junk imo

I guess people like you would critize the story there is nothing else to critize the movie about.

But according to interviews, it was the other way around. They took the idea of making the book into a film and had to find a way to fill the time with something that was meaningful. A little boy going wild with play and rambunctiousness wouldn't have been enough to tug at the heart strings of audiences. He needed something that would play well on the screen and get people emotionally involved. Personally, I think he did an absolutely amazing job of it.

Another really crappy movie I've seen was Braveheart. The premise of the movie is that there are a bunch of men in catholic school girl skirts who are fighting off the British because some dude's wife got killed.

What proceeds is about 4 hours of poorly choreographed fight scenes with nausea inducing camera shaking and a bunch of melodramatic, cheesy scenes that are historically inaccurate.

They made it out so William Wallace impregnated Princess Isabelle?! Princess Isabelle was 10 years old when William Wallace died and there is no historical evidence that the two ever met at all. To think people in Scotland actually reference this movie as a source of national pride.

If I were Scottish, I would be downright insulted!

[Busomjack]

I heard that there is an actual statue of Mel Gibson at the Wallace monument.



In fact, here is a picture of it .







It even says "Braveheart" on his shield.

[Busomjack]

I think someone over at IMDB mentioned it and I couldn't believe it. He posted a picture though and proved it was real.



It's pretty funny since the Scottish use someone who amounts to basically a cartoon character as a source of national pride and cultural identity.



The William Wallace from Braveheart IS NOT REAL!

[Busomjack]

Photo looks pretty real to me. Just google it and you see dozens of pictures of it.

[Seagloom]

Busomjack, cut it out. You're really pushing it today. Eli, please let it drop.
